    i love my PP's but expected life is between 1k-3k miles depending on your riding style....the new road attack's are supposed to be an awesome dual purpose tire that get a ton of life....

    Another thing about my PP is with some tires you can ride for hours and they are sticky as hell to the touch mine are relatively cool but no matter how hard i hit a turn they always stick to my line so who knows

    Dunlop Qualifiers are my tires...by far the best Dunlop has. I've ridden on a set of Avon's not sure which ones but they felt good also. To me comfort wise the Qualifiers is were it's at. Just my $0.02

    What kind of tires are you looking for? Extended mileage, grip, etc?

    I'm riding a Pilot 2CT on the back. So far it's treating me well, it's sticky as hell. The only thing bad about them are the price, but I got it when the store had them on sale, but Pilots are the way to go

    Pilot powers are the ****. always love them. Used them on my 600 and 100 crotch rockets, and also on my V-Twin buell.

    The dual compounds are also great but really overkill for the street.

    I got between 3-5K miles out of my Pilot Powers, and that was on average of 500 miles of mountain runs and the rest was city and highway.

    BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK PILOT POWERS!!!

    Very few brands are going to make a difference for street riding unless you're being an ass-hat out on the road.

    I've ridden avons, dunlops, pirellis (on the front) and metzlers. Only complaint was the M1 (which they are phasing out) which was really sticky, but didn't last long at all. The M3 is a good improvement
